Since the dynamic preemption has been enabled for PREEMPT_RT we have now
CONFIG_PREEMPT and CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT set simultaneously. This affects
the vermagic strings which comes now PREEMPT with PREEMPT_RT enabled.
The PREEMPT_RT module usually can not be loaded on a PREEMPT kernel
because some symbols are missing.
However if the symbols are fine then it continues and it crashes later.
The problem is that the struct module has a different layout and the
num_exentries or init members are at a different position leading to a
crash later on. This is not necessary caught by the size check in
elf_validity_cache_index_mod() because the mem member has an alignment
requirement of __module_memory_align which is big enough keep the total
size unchanged. Therefore we should keep the string accurate instead of
removing it.
Move the PREEMPT_RT check before the PREEMPT so that it takes precedence
if both symbols are enabled.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
